Wallingford v. Olson, No. 09-1271

In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 alleging excessive force by the police, the denial of summary judgment to defendant-officer based on qualified immunity is reversed where videotape evidence demonstrated, as a matter of law, that the officer's conduct was objectively reasonable under the circumstances.
